This guide explains how the Win For Life Analyzer counts main-number appearances, measures current gaps and assigns descriptive frequency classifications.
Main-number frequency
Each of the six unique main numbers contributes one occurrence to its individual count. The main-number universe is 1–28. Cash Ball occurrences are not included in these counts.
Analyzer history scope
The current Analyzer uses all loaded valid history. It has no selectable historical windows. The Last 50, Last 100 and All available draws controls belong to Historical Ticket Simulator, not the Analyzer.
Current gap
The records are arranged newest-first. A current gap is the index of the newest draw containing the selected main number: newest appearance is gap 0, the previous draw is gap 1, and so on. A main number absent from the valid history has a gap equal to the total number of valid draws.
Hot, warm, cool and cold
For the 1–28 main-number universe, the Analyzer calculates the mean frequency and population standard deviation. It then applies these thresholds:
- Hot: frequency at least mean + 1.5 standard deviations.
- Warm: frequency at least mean + 0.75 standard deviations.
- Cold: frequency at most max(0, mean − 1.5 standard deviations).
- Cool: everything else.
Frequency bars
The Analyzer’s frequency bars are scaled relative to the most frequent main number in the same universe. Their colors correspond to the descriptive categories. They are not probability bars and do not represent future likelihood.
Main & Cash Ball Explorer — main mode
When a main number is selected, the Explorer reports historical appearances, historical draw rate, current gap and the most recent matching records. The same tool can switch to Cash Ball mode, but that is a separate calculation described in the Cash Ball guide.
What is not implemented
Current public WFL analysis does not include main-number pairs, triplets, larger subset relationships, number-pool analysis, odd/even, high/low, sums, spread, consecutive-number analysis, heatmaps, matrices or predictive rankings.
How to interpret frequency and gaps
Historical frequency answers what occurred in the recorded sample. Current gap describes recency within that sample. Neither establishes that a main number is due or more likely in the next draw.
